Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology (SVNIT) Surat JRF Recruitment 2026: 1 Junior Research Fellow Post

This role is ideal for highly motivated and academically strong civil engineering postgraduates holding an M.Tech. in Structural/Earthquake Engineering or related fields, who have also qualified GATE/NET. Candidates with a keen interest in research, particularly in earthquake engineering and control systems, and proficiency in software like SAP and MATLAB, would be well-suited.

This project, sponsored by DST-SERB, provides exposure to cutting-edge research in structural and earthquake engineering. The opportunity to register for a Ph.D. program at SVNIT adds substantial long-term growth potential and career advancement in academia or R&D sectors.
